Research Fee Agreement

In order to perform the professional services required to design and arrange your travels, a minimum $25.00 research fee is required. The fee is non-refundable.

Vacation planning involves a great deal of time. Our work is based on years of personal experience and professional expertise. We research cruises, hotels, tours, and activities to meet your specific needs, contact suppliers, coordinate transportation, draft itineraries, and more. We provide itineraries; vacation plans and tailored travel arrangements that give travelers peace of mind and save them time. Once Let’s Start Trippin’ has constructed your itinerary, you are free to shop it on the Internet, or wherever you would like.

If you choose not to book through us for any reason (decided not to go, booked elsewhere, was just shopping, etc.), then the fee will be retained by us as payment for services rendered. The research fee is valid for 30 days (includes two destination changes). Otherwise, we will consider the request canceled. If you reconvene anytime thereafter, a new research fee will be due unless other arrangements have been made.
